Fueling Leadership Growth through Conversational Intelligence

Our brains are hard-wired for conversational intelligence—we just need to understand how to access it. 
 
Samantha Tassone has more than 25 years of experience nurturing conversation competencies with executives, high-potentials, board members, and boots-on-the-ground employee teams. 
 
Conversational intelligence is the next generation of competencies beyond emotional intelligence. It gives us tools to architect and deconstruct conversations in order to learn powerful conversational rituals that prime the brain for trust, partnership, and mutual success. 
GrowthFuel brings brain-science down to earth with a greater understanding of our predictable human behaviors. We help leaders at all levels tap into their higher potential for collaboration and performance.

“By working with Samantha, we learned how to create a safe space for people to ask questions and openly comment. This has helped the staff increase their confidence within team settings and working with others at higher levels. I think the biggest shift is everyone is willing to have conversations and understands how to create clear ‘rules of engagement’ before the next project.”
